Comments on: Web directories with XOXO and XSL http://decafbad.com/blog/2005/10/02/web-directories-with-xoxo-and-xsl It's all spinning wheels and self-doubt until the first pot of coffee.

Basically here’s a tool that does a limited subset of what a regular Web browser can do, with a format that does a limited subset of what HTML can do. Ok, I’ll grant you it’s pretty, but with a tweak or two couldn’t Les’ Web Directories thing be just as pretty? To get the full Gopher NG effect you’d probably want to strip the transcluded HTML page down to just the links. I guess you could add Web 2.0 points by hitting the Ajax hard, or even making it a FireFox plugin. [...]</p> [...] While we’re on the subject, crazy but true: WOW OPML Browser does what it says.

But, I’m not sure if I’ll really do much more with it. It started on a lark, really. But after awhile, I realized that I don’t have any use for it other than as an interesting exercise.

I have a few Ajax based outliners lying around handling things from ul/li lists, atom feeds and opml outlines. I should pull it all together and prototype what you've suggested above. (I think I also have an OPML-friendly PHP proxy to "alleviate" the cross-domain security measure - should be able to hack it to accept XOXO-like outlines)</p> <p>Step two would be some WikiSyntax additions to author the above on a wiki (for instance defining transclusion links).</p> Hmm, excellent idea to use rel=”subsection” - that make so much sense.
